Every Friday at I Heart Faces, they post a photo for readers to practice their editing skills. This week, I finally decided to get in on it. Here is the original photo taken by Dana. Isn’t her daughter adorable!

I think the composition of the photo is great,  but the color is too cool and almost kind of flat. So I went ahead and had some fun with it. I am always drawn to bright colors with some pop when it comes to photos of children. So I added a little warmth and brightened the colors and contrast. Here is my first edit:

Then I decided, while I had the time and wasn’t really doing much else, I would play around some more. Here is an edit with more muted tones. I think it gives it almost an artistic feel.

And then a nice happy in between edit… warm but muted:

I would love to hear which is your favorite. Be sure to check out I Heart Faces for some tutorials on different editing techniques and links to other readers’ edits.
